Also known as Moselle
Steep slate slopes and feather-light, electric Riesling.
Some of the steepest vineyards on earth line the winding Mosel river and its tributaries, the Saar and Ruwer. Slate soils and a cool climate give Rieslings with low alcohol, piercing acidity and anything from bone-dry to lusciously sweet.

Say it at the table
“Mosel Riesling is light, low in alcohol and bursting with green apple and slate. A little sweetness is balanced by the acidity — amazing with spicy food.”
